Marana Karaka Sthana of Mercury?

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

 

On vedic astrology , there has been a discussion on whether Mercury's

marana karaka sthana is 7th or 4th and on the significance of marana karaka

sthanas.

 

Sanjay ji gave 7th as Mercury's marana karaka sthana earlier, but changed it to

4th recently. I am not sure of the classical basis he has for 4th, but the

reverred classic "Jataka Parijatam" I think mentions 7th for Mercury. JHora

uses 7th and not 4th.

 

I have explained the basis and significance of marana karaka sthana in one of my

lessons (link below). I will summarize quickly.

 

These are the houses where the planets are most uncomfortable/feel awkward. To

do justice to the house they occupy, they have to work extra hard and, in the

process, the houses they own suffer. Thus, houses/karakatwa owned by planets in

marana karaka sthana suffer.

 

Sun is the significator of ego. He feels awkward in the 12th house of overcoming

ego. Jupiter likes peace. He feels awkward in the 3rd house of weapons and

boldness. Mars is the significator of wars and fighting. He is very comfortable

in the 6th house. But, if you place him in the 7th house and tell him to give

somebody a relationship and marriage, he will feel awkward about it. Similarly,

Venus is the giver of love, relationships and marriage. If you place him in the

6th house of war and bachelorhood, he will be most uncomfortable there. Rahu,

the planet of adharma, naturally feels awkward in the 9th house of dharma,

religion and temple. Saturn is the giver of disease and suffering. If you place

him in the 1st house of health and tell him to take care of someone's health, he

will naturally feel awkward.

 

Thus, marana karaka sthanas of planets are places where they are not comfortable

and where they have to work extra hard to do justice. In the process, other

promises of the planet suffer.

 

May Jupiter's light shine on

As Partha mentioned, Me is the vidyakaraka for the 4th house; why

should he feel uncomfortable about discharging his duties in the 4th

house?

 

Apart from the marana karaka sthana definition, Jataka Parijata also

mentions the position of Me in 4th in two shlokas, 52 & 72 of 2nd adhyaya.

What is the temporal effect of marana karaka sthana (MKS)? That is, is

the effect of MKS valid over a very long period of time (permanent) or

temporary depending on the dasas etc? I have seen cases where the dasa

of the graha in MKS brought a tragic event and some cases where the

native seems to be struggling in the areas impacted by the MKS of the

graha. Please give your opinion.

Hi all

IF Mercury is in 7th House,debilated and with other malefic planet

such as Sun, What needs to be done to minimize this "Marana Karaka "

of mercury.

Is there any gemstone/remedy for this.
